Comment
Zöttl presents this coin in a commemorative serie from 12 Ducat to this 5 kreuzer, for the 1200 anniversary of the monastery. However, 1200 years before 1792, nothing happens in Salzburg. The rebirth of Juvavum due to St Ruppert was around 700 AD, a century later. If we consider the word "Jubilaeum" to refer to 50 year periods, then we talk of 600th anniversary, and hence probably the consecration of the former cathedral to St Peter in 1147. The word "Dom" in Austria is used for Cathedrals and the Salzburger Dom is actually St Peter.Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat - Hiéronymus von Colloredo (12th Jubileum) 1782 coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) is made of gold and weighs 3.5 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 12th jubilee year of Bishop Hiéronymus von Colloredo, who was the Prince-Bishop of Salzburg from 1771 to 1803. The coin's design features an image of the bishop on one side and the Salzburg coat of arms on the other. It is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
